Time: 2:00pm – 2:50pm 
Location: Fringe Room 2
Format: Publication launch and panel discussion   

Organisation: John Curtin Research Centre 

In the age of artificial intelligence, national security and economic sovereignty are inseparable — and Australia cannot afford to leave either to chance. A new report from the John Curtin Research Centre sets out a national agenda for sovereign AI capability: the infrastructure, skills and safeguards Australia needs to secure its place in the 21st century.

Join Assistant Minister for Science, Technology and the Digital Economy the Hon. Dr Andrew Charlton MP, SDA National Secretary Gerard Dwyer and JCRC Non-Resident Fellow and report co-author Dr Dominic Meagher for the launch of Defending Australia and a Panel Discussion on how Australia can shape the AI era on its own terms: secure, capable, and sovereign.
